Hotels in Weissbach bei Lofer
Weissbach bei Lofer is a small hamlet best known for the Seisenbergklamm gorge at its edge, offering a handful of family-run guesthouses close to Lofer's lifts.
Hotels at the ski in Weissbach bei Lofer sit in one of the smallest and quietest of the villages sharing the Loferer Alm ski area, defined as much by the Seisenbergklamm gorge that cuts into the mountainside at its edge as by the slopes above Lofer a short drive away. This is a hamlet rather than a resort: a scattering of family-run guesthouses like Landgasthof Seisenbergklamm and Gasthof Geronimo, mountain views from most rooms, and none of the queues or nightlife of the bigger bases. Skiers use it as a low-key overnight stop, driving into Lofer for the Loferer Almbahnen cable car and returning to a genuinely rural evening. It suits travellers who want the Loferer Alm ski area without a village-centre address, and who don't mind trading proximity to the lift for a quieter, more local stay.
